iPad Air How risky is it to use an iPad Air 1st gen in 2026?
I have an old iPad Air 1st gen that I’ve been using for browsing on here and some other browser based media consumption type activities (Amazon, gsm arena, Wikipedia). Should I be concerned about viruses or getting hacked since I’m stuck on iOS 12? -
iPad Air The M4 iPad Air screen is better than the OLED iPad Pro screen in this one area…
I’m an artist and only use iPads. I’m about to add a 13” iPad to my collection of an 11” iPad Pro & iPad mini 7.

Hey all, I'm happy to be telling everyone that I decided to finally upgrade my old 16 GB iPad Air 2, to the iPad Air M3, 13" 128GB after the iPad Air has pretty much been useless for the past 5, or so years, when 16GB wasn't enough, even for a basic consumption device. My main uses for the... -

Foldable Sleeve or easy to use mobile stand for iPad Air M3
Hey everyone, I’m looking for a fold‑over sleeve that can work as a stand (or a MagSafe‑compatible stand) for my iPad Air M3. I’d love to use the iPad without a screen protector. The built‑in anti‑glare works great and I just enjoy the feel of the screen. Likewise, I prefer keeping the iPad...- krado

With the current iPad Pro being lighter and thinner, what do you think the future of iPad Air will be like? I mean, even the name itself is no longer fitting. What can Apple really do to keep Air appealing, apart from its lower price? I could think of adding an OLED screen with ProMotion to it... -

Hi all I wanted to know if the Magic Keyboard for the iPad Air causes scratches when closed? Looking to get the 2025 iPad Air I’ve seen a few threads regarding the iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard. In theory I’m thinking if something is ‘folded’ or ‘closed’ on the screen then it’ll cause scratches...- Superman041

Now, in the Menu Bar, an “Eject” option is listed under File. It is currently grayed out, which leads me to believe it’s still under work, as an eject symbol still doesn’t appear on a drive in the sidebar either. But the presence of this option indicates the option is coming, which will be... -

All iPads What do you use your 12.9/13-inch iPad (Pro or Air) for?
I remember reading a poll somewhere in the last couple of months (the poll itself was conducted before last month's M2 iPad Air and M4 iPad Pro announcements) that suggested that 50% of all iPad sales in the year prior were for 12.9-inch iPad Pros. I would imagine that we have the "13-inch"...- Yebubbleman

All iPads M1 iPad Pro 11 in. vs. M2 iPad air 11 in.
Hey all! I was wondering which one makes more sense to get. Apple right now has the M1 iPad Pro 11 in. for $600 in the apple refurbished store. That makes it a really compelling option versus the newest iPad Air, which they come about to the same price for me. My main worry is that the iPad Pro...- RedMango22
